Austria opponent
Poland relies on legionnaire selection for the EURO
Poland's team boss Michal Probierz announced his provisional 29-man squad for the European Championship in Germany on Wednesday. Austria's group opponents will be led by Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski. Well-known names in the squad, which is almost entirely made up of legionnaires, are goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny (Juventus Turin), defender Jakub Kiwior (Arsenal), Piotr Zieliński (Inter Milan) and Nicola Zalewski (AS Roma) in midfield as well as striker Arkadiusz Milik (Juventus).
Matty Cash was not called up. The Aston Villa defender was injured in May but would have been fit for the finals according to media reports. For the first time in a long time, there is no player from the German Bundesliga in the Polish squad. Defender Tymoteusz Puchacz is playing in Germany, but in the 2nd division with 1. FC Kaiserslautern. In contrast, ten players from the Italian Serie A have been nominated.
Probierz will have to remove three more names before the official squad announcement on June 7 at the latest, one of which will be fourth goalkeeper Oliwier Zych, who has only been called up to the upcoming Polish team camp in Warsaw for training purposes. The Eastern Europeans will play Ukraine on June 7 and Turkey on June 10, also in Warsaw.
Poland start their European Championship campaign against the Netherlands on June 16, their second match will be against Austria in Berlin on June 21, before they face France on June 25 to conclude the group stage.
